hmm the 1300 was an upgrade to the first 1070.. (now replaced by the 1070+) it supposedly had a better picture, slightly different focusing blah blah than the 1070 but was a longer focal distance ( the 1070 gave a bigger picture than the 1300 at the same set up distance)

the 1400 is the middle level pj for benq.. the 1300 is technically below the 1400. the 1400 has a bigger body, higher power use, better picture quality better hardware... but it retains the closer set up ability of the 1070.. that is the 1400 will have a bigger picture than the 1300 at the same distance.

as for online gaming the 1400 has more lag than the 1300. the 1300 has same lag as the 1070

W1400 also has frame interpolation and slightly better zoom ratio. Image/lens shift is pretty much identical to that of the W1070. As for that extra $500 for the W1400 - yeah, that's what you'd need to spend if you needed the flexibility of a longer zoom. I haven't seen anything else that comes close to W1070 for value. Check projector central website for image throw calculations.

If you wait around a bit, you might see the W1400 for $1299 again on BenQ website.

thats probably why the 1070+ is an upgraded model.. not the next level up.. as for 2k? well the aussie dollar may have something to say about the price. but as has happened many times NO ONE SERIOUSLY BUYS THE FIRST MODEL ON RELEASE. a few months later competition will bring it down lousy dollar or not.

i think you seriously need to decide your price range and only look for pjs that fit it. it will drive you crazy looking at everything existing, new and not yet released. what ever you buy will be great.. your friends will think the same and you will wonder why you worried so much.. :-)

oh the lumen increase is the logical step as pjs are being made and sold for "entertainment rooms" ie not the old bat caves the higher end pjs live in.
